做时间的主人

Discover the Secret of Those Who Master Their Time

做时间的主人

It seems that we all want a few extra hours a week to get through everything we want to. When was the last time you found yourself saying that you’ll do something when you find time for it? Everyone agrees that time is something we all want more of; more time to get through all our work, more time to be with friends and family, and more time to relax. However, how often do you find yourself rushing around like a headless chicken desperately trying to get everything done. or feeling frustrated and bordering on rage because you just simply don’t have the time you want? Feeling stressed and overwhelmed constantly is not fun at all, so why is change so hard?

似乎所有人都希望每个星期可以多出几个小时去完成所有需要完成的事。上一次你发现自己对别人说“一有时间你就会去做”是什么时候？每个人都认我们需要更多的时间：更多时间去完成工作，更多的时间同朋友和家人在一起，更多的时间来放松自己。然而，你是否经常发现自己四处奔波，像无头苍蝇一样拼命去完成所有自己要完成的事，抑或是感到沮丧，甚至接近于盛怒的边缘，因为你总是感到时间不够用。如此不堪重负生活当然淡然无味。可是，要改变这一切真的就那么难么？

We live in a world where we want instant solutions and gratification, but for a price, of course, and the least amount of effort on our part. When we need something to be fixed or changed, it’s easy to go and buy a solution, but what about those problems that aren’t so tangible, like time? Of course, those who master their time have developed skills and learnt techniques, but they all share something else which is the root of their success—a mindset that enables them to manage their time effortlessly. Improving the way you manage your time really starts with the way you view time, your perspective.

我们生活在一个“即刻就要解决，即刻就要满意”的世界里，而与此同时又要求我们仅用最低的成本和最少的努力。当需要解决问题或者做出一些改变的时候，我们很容易就可以买到解决方案，但如果是无形的问题又该如何去解决呢，例如：时间？当然了，可以主宰时间的人已经学习掌握了工作技能和技巧，但是他们也有着共同的特点，也就是他们的成功之源——心态，是使他们毫不费力地管理自己时间的利器。你对时间的看法和你的观点是你提升时间管理技能的起点。

Getting Organized

有秩序的生活

Everyone has the same 24 hours in their day, yet it’s obvious that many people achieve more in a few months than most people do in years. Why is that? I have heard so many different excuses, and among my favorite are definitely “I was born this way, I’ve always been disorganized“—really? I didn’t know there was a gene for disorganization. Another is, “it will make me less creative and restrict my freedom“—on the contrary, being organized actually frees your mind up to be more creative! Let me ask you a question, do you believe that managing your time is in your control? In other words, do you believe it is possible? If you don’t, I’m glad you are reading this because your mindset is definitely influencing your results.

每个人每天都同样拥有24小时，但是，显然有些人在数月内完成的事要比大部分人在几年内完成的事还要多。这是为什么呢？我听到过诸多不同的借口，而这其中我最“喜欢”的莫过于：“我天生就是这样的，我就一个生活没有章法的人。”真的吗？我从没听说过，有那个基因是决定“无秩序”的。另一个理由是，“秩序会减少创造性，限制自由”。相反，有秩序的生活实际上是可以让你的心灵得到解脱，使你更加富有创造力的！让我问你一个问题，你认为你可以控制管理你的时间吗？换句话说，你相信这是可能的吗？如果你的答案是否定的，那么我很高兴你正在阅读这篇文章，因为你的心态是绝对影响你做事的结果的。

If you think that you don’t have time to do anything, you will most probably find that you don’t. If you think that you are unable to take control of the reins and manage your time, that is what your experience will be. Your external world reflects your internal world, your thinking. If you are disorganized on the outside, you most likely feel disorganized on the inside, which is why you need to start with mastering your mindset. We cannot buy or create more time, but we can make more time by creating a time management mindset.

如果你认为你没有时间做任何事情，那你会发现你真的没有时间去做任何事情。如果你认为你没有能力控制管理你的时间，那么你将真的会无法控制管理你的时间。外部世界反映你的内心世界及思维。如果你的外部世界是混乱的，那么的内心世界也一定是混乱的，这就是为什么你要从征服自己的心态做起。我们无法购买或者创造更多的时间，但我们可以通过培养时间管理的心态来让我们“拥有更多的时间”。
